Phil's Dream emerged from the pack midway through the stretch and sprinted to a two-length victory in the $340,400, Grade I Nearctic Stakes on Sunday at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto.

Owned and trained by Paul Buttigieg, Phil's Dream was not nominated to the Breeders' Cup and will not make the trip to Santa Anita despite the Nearctic being a "Win and You're In" event. The 5-year-old gelded son of Philanthropist covered six furlongs in 1:10.83 under Justin Stein and paid $20.
